Heres the listing DARK, MOODY INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed for a bunch of $1,500, Direct-to-Music Supervisor, NON-Exclusive placements in a new Sci-Fi Series done by the same producers as the hit TV show, Mr. Robot. They're looking for gloomy, Down-to-Mid Tempo Instrumental Cues that could be heard on a playlist with artists like (but not limited to), Massive Attack, Portishead, The Weeknd, etc., etc., etc. Please listen to these references to get in the stylistic ballpark, and hear the range of what they're looking for: "Black Milk" by Massive Attack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=li-adM-qOwI "Numb" by Portishead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6rJn_TEu5Y "High For This" by The Weeknd: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sX9DgavXiN4 Although the references have vocals in them, this Music Supervisor needs Instrumentals only for this pitch.Give them dark, ominous Instrumental Cues that deliver a gloomy, menacing overall vibe, with engaging beats, and unique electronic and/or live instrumentation. Please stick to a singular motif throughout your Cue to keep your submission emotionally and melodically consistent from beginning to end. One scene – one mood! As always, please avoid anything overly frenetic that could be a distraction from dialog. This request is much more about mood than it is winning Composer of the Year All submissions should be at least 2 minutes in length, with easy edit points and buttoned/stinger endings. Do NOT copy or rip off the referenced music in any way, shape, or form. Use it only as a general guide for feel, texture, tone, and vibe. Broadcast quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine). The estimated license fee for this use is $1,500, depending on the ultimate placement. This is a Non-Exclusive, Direct-to-Music Supervisor pitch. You'll get 100% of the sync fee, and 100% of any applicable performance royalties. Plus, you'll also keep 100% of your Publishing and Master ownership. You need to own or control your Master and Copyright to pitch for this opportunity. Please submit 1-3 Instrumental Cues online or per CD. All submissions will be screened on a Yes/No basis by a TAXI screener handpicked by the Company - No full critiques. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59PM (PST), on Saturday, February 4th, 2017. TAXI #Y170204DM the screener checked not on target/ music then in the box they wrote This is working well with the pace set for these particular scenes. does that mean it was good or bad. the piece is called A SOLEMN TALE IT's at http://www.soundcloud.com/777rd Thanks, Ron

"This is working well with the pace set for these particular scenes."

Is this all they said? Sounds like a forward to me, perhaps they clicked Return by mistake? It happens.

Where are the drums? This sounds like meditation music. The reference tracks all had rugged percussion to drive the track home.
